Long and teammate Newton Lamb are rated highly in their specialty for the coming SWC meet. Former A&M Student, Coach Takes Wharton Mentor Slot Tom Pickett, former A&M let- terman and freshman coach, has taken a position as head coach and athletic director at Wharton Jun ior College, replacing Johnnie Frankie, who became Rice Insti tute’s head basketball coach this week. Pickett came to A&M from Tem ple where he won All-State and All-Southern honors in 1937-38. He played and lettered in 1939, but did not participate in 1940 due to an injury. He returned in 1941 and lettered that year. FRIDAY The Great Submarine Picture!

The lanky Schaper has had a taste of the Froggies earlier this season and came out on the win ning end of a 14-7 verdict. The Farmers went homerun-wild that game with leftfielder Byron Bar ber slamming out two round-trip pers and Gary Herrington and Dink Patterson one each. Co-captain Herrington will be missing from the contest this week with an injured shoulder holding him out of play. The stocky catch er hurt his shoulder in the SMU game last Saturday sliding into a base and missed the non-conference Tech tilt here Tuesday. Sophomore Randy Wortham will replace the ailing catcher with jun ior Don Chase ready to give him adequate relief. Wortham is bat ting .143 in season play and has yet to hit conference pitching. Chase has been a successful relief hitter with a solid .300 in 20 times at bat. Half of. Chase’s hits have been for extra bases. Sanderson is scheduled to toe the mound for the Farmers Friday while Schaper will do his part Saturday. Sanderson is 2-2 in the conference while Schaper has two wins and has yet to taste defeat in the SWC. Sophomore Dick Hickerson, re covering from a batting slump that plagued him for several weeks, will be back at first base sporting a .333 season batting average. Lefty Bo Paradowski, throws left, bats right, could see some duty at that position if the Frogs throw a left hander one day. The Aggie senior is batting .333 in conference play and has one home run to his credit. Proud Dink Patterson, father of a girl Moqday, will hold down the second base position, although Don Davis did a respectable job on the field against Tech the first part Percy Sanderson . . . Ag righthander Rudder Scheduled To Open Tourney A&M’s Vice President Earl Rudder is scheduled to roll the first, ball Saturday 1 to’ officially open the ninth annual Intercolleg iate Bowling Tournament at 2:30 p. m. in the Memorial Student Center bowling lanes. * Competition will be made up of eight colleges and universities for a total of 14 teams. Squads are entered from SMU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Arlington State, Baylor, Texas, Rice, San Antonio College and A&M. The Aggie team will be strong favorites to win the title, having bowled 11 straight matches with out being beaten and winning the Region IX championship. A&M’s No. 1 match team con sists of Larry Dantzler, Don Jones, Bob Brown, Tony Servello and Ken Savage. They support a total individual average of 950. of this week. Patterson is batting .276 in the conference and has two homers and two doubles to his credit. Helping Patterson around the keystone position is Ralph Plumlee who is batting .280 and has 14 runs-batted-in. Plumlee has three stolen bases, one less than Hick erson who leads the team in that department. Third baseman Windel Reed will be back at his old position moving J. B. Carroll back out to center- field. Reed is slugging at a .259 pace while Carroll leads the Ag gies in conference batting with a .433 average. Carroll, the shortest man on the team at 5-6, has 13 hits in 30 trips to the plate, four of them for ex tra base hits. Completing the outfield for the Farmers will be Barber in left- field and Stuffy Davis in right. Barber is batting .226 and leads the team in homers with three. Davis is batting .304 and has four doubles. Looking at the team statistics the Aggies are outbatting their op- INDIANAPOLIS 1/P) — Floyd Patterson will defend his world heavyweight boxing title Friday night against England’s Brian London, a sturdy “tuneup” for the champion’s June date with Inge- mar Johannsson. London, a lantern jawed former British champ with over 20 pounds weight advantage, is regarded so lightly that odds against him have been quoted at 10 to 1. If he should upend Patterson it would be the biggest ring shocker -since Joe Louis was knocked out by Max Schmeling in 1936. Few expect any startling upset. However, the British bruiser could foul up Patterson’s time schedule that calls for the Johansson de fense June 25 at Yankee Stadium in the champ’s hometown, New York. There always is the risk of a cut or a hand injury. If Lon don should win, Johansson would be out the window in favor of a rematch. The first world championship match ever held in Indiana figures to do remarkably good business. Mel Ross, general manager of the Fairgrounds Coliseum, where the fight will be held at 9 p.m., EST, says the advance sale is over $90,- ponents, .275 to .260 and have scored 58 runs on 76 hits. The Aggies swing a bit more wildly than their opponents, striking out 51 times to 36 for the opposition. Wayne Schaper . . . other hurler 000. He expects a crowd of about 10,000 to pay between $120,000 and $130,000 to watch the 15-round match. Cus D’Amato, the champion’s manager, is getting 60 per cent of the net gate, no guarantee, and all of the television money, estimated between $175,000 and $200,000. From that total London gets his $60,000 plus expenses. Network NBC radio and televi sion will carry the title fight with Indianapolis and a 75-mile area blacked out on television. This is the 24-year-old Patter son’s fourth defense. He stopped Hurricane Jackson in 10 and Pete Rademacher, the amateur champ, in 6 in 1957. Last year he stopped Roy Harris in 12 at Los Angeles. His record is 34-1 with 25 knock outs, losing only to Joey Maxim in 8 rounds in 1954. London burst into prominence in 1958, winning the British title by knocking out Joe Erskine. He stopped Willie Pastrano, high ranked American, on a cut eye in September and then lost his last, Jan. 12, dropping his title to Hen ry Cooper in 15 rounds. His rec ord is 22-4 with 19 knockouts. PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKLEY If the Aggie nine hope to keep their hats in the South west Conference baseball ring, they’re going to have to do something they’ve done only once this season . . . beat the TCU Horned Frogs. * The Frogs romped all over the Farmers in football and basketball, winning the SWC race in both sports, but the Aggies got some measure of revenge from the Toads April 7 when they dumped their baseball squad, 14-7. TCU is mired in the mud in the baseball race, sunk in last place while the Aggies can’t afford to lose a single re maining game this season if they are to cop the flag. A&M currently holds a 4-4 conference mark and a 11-7 season rec ord. The Longhorns hold the lead in conference play with a 9-1 won-loss mark, but must face the grim Rice Owls this weekend at Austin. A sweep of the two-game series by the Owls would bring them even with the Longhorns in the im portant losing column and set up a fight to the wire among Texas, Rice and A&M. Just a split of the Rice-Texas series would all but cinch the crown for the Steers. A&M and Rice are slated to play a doubleheader next week to make up two SWC games rained out earlier this month, even if Texas should clinch the title by Saturday. “Tom Chandler and I both want to make ’em up since we’re close by and travel is no problem,” relates Owl mentor Dell Morgan. Chandler, the Aggie baseball coach, voiced the same sentiments last week in this column. Of course, if Rice does somehow upset Texas twice in the coming series the make-ups would be required, since they would have a bearing on the title. Final agreement on a date for the twin bill won’t be made until Sunday afte^ the important weekend games, but the logical time to plg,iy is Tuesday since Rice has a final game with Sam Houston Wednesday ^md the Aggie tackle Texas the following weekend in their final games of the series. ★ ★ ★ While their varsity brothers are in Fort Worth after the Horned Frogs the freshman nine will end a three-week baseball drouth by playing the Wharton County Junior Col lege team Friday on Kyle Field. The frosh team has been defeated only once this season, by the Allen Academy squad, but has been rained out of three games. Policy on rainouts for the frosh is no games are replayed. Game time is 3 p. m. with righthander Bill Vincent due to toe the mound for the Aggies.
